Chen Tian and Huo Longyun locked eyes. Huo Longyun struck first, and Chen Tian reacted accordingly, his class changing from Elf to King of Ice and Snow.
The hidden class, King of Ice and Snow, commanded ice and snow. Chen Tian's form transformed. Huo Longyun, consumed by a desire for revenge for his people, merely wished to tear Chen Tian apart and paid no mind to Chen Tian's metamorphosis.
Chen Tian's body elongated and became more slender. His height increased again. His slender jade-like arms exuded a chilling aura, as if crafted from pure, flawless glass. His pupils turned icy white, and he was clad in ice-white armor, with two snow markings on either side of his head.
Chen Tian's eyes snapped open, his eyelashes now snow-white, as if spun from snowflakes. He then extended his hand towards the charging Huo Longyun.
His palm morphed into a claw, covered in purple ice crystals. Instantly, his claw resembled that of a ferocious beast, and he thrust it towards Huo Longyun.
With a thud, Chen Tian was forced back two steps. Huo Longyun stared at Chen Tian in astonishment. The opponent had blocked his punch with one hand. However, this also brought him back to his senses.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Tian unleashed a kick, a fearsome spinning blade hurtling towards Huo Longyun's neck.
Seeing this, Huo Longyun opened his right hand and instantly seized Chen Tian's leg. Chen Tian spun his body, his entire being covered in terrifying purple ice crystals that formed sharp blades. The purple-ice blades spun.
Huo Longyun released his grip and fired a palm of fiery red flames. Both fighters were sent reeling backward. Huo Longyun, gazing at Chen Tian, exclaimed in shock, "King of Ice and Snow! You have actually gained the recognition of the King of Ice and Snow! How is this possible? The King of Ice and Snow is the highest leader of the Water Spirit Tribe, governing a portion of them."
"Kid, I didn't expect you to gain the King of Ice and Snow's recognition, but that doesn't give you the right to challenge me. Die!"
"We'll only know if we try. Let's settle this with our fists! Huo Longyun! Today, only one tribe, the Fire Spirit Tribe or the Water Spirit Tribe, will survive! Only one of us can leave here."
Chen Tian roared, a faint purple cold current emanating from his body. Divine Ice encased him, forming an armor of divine ice.
The surface of the armor was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the scene. It was as clear and transparent as glass, emitting a purple glow. Terrifying cold air filled the armor.
The armor seemed to have been frozen in an ancient ice cave, its fearsome chill freezing the surrounding sky. The air slowly transformed into purple ice crystals.
The might of Divine Ice was unleashed.
King of Ice and Snow Skill: Ice God Snow Armor!
This skill increased Chen Tian's defense and all his attributes by 10%.
For Chen Tian, his current stats were that of a level sixty boss player, but he could rely on his class's power and his skills to win.
However, the King of Ice and Snow class had a drawback: it could only use ice element. If Chen Tian didn't have Divine Ice, he probably wouldn't be able to use this class at all!
Huo Longyun's body then became engulfed in flames, as if he were enveloped by a fiery planet. His body was at the center, and terrifying waves of fire surged outward, spreading in circles.
Chen Tian crossed his hands. Divine Ice transformed into a shield, instantly blocking the attack.
The fearsome shockwave struck the Divine Ice shield, and Chen Tian was forced back several meters.
Huo Longyun looked at Chen Tian and praised, "Not bad. You can withstand one of my attacks. You're worthy of me using thirty percent of my strength against you."
Chen Tian scoffed at Huo Longyun's words. "Thirty percent of my strength? In my opinion, you'll need seventy percent of your strength to trouble me, and your full power to defeat me!"
Then, their figures turned into streams of light, charging towards each other.
Chen Tian's figure became a purple stream of light, while Huo Longyun's became a red stream. They instantly collided.
Chen Tian's hands formed claws, transforming into purple-ice wolf claws, which he swung directly. Huo Longyun was not to be outdone. Knowing Chen Tian wielded Divine Ice, he dared not confront it directly. He gathered flames in his hands, constantly deflecting and defending.
The collision of fire and Divine Ice. Huo Longyun's flames were ineffective against Divine Ice, but due to the deflection, Chen Tian's claws could not land on Huo Longyun.
Chen Tian's left claw swept out, descending from above Huo Longyun's head. Huo Longyun crossed his arms to block his head, and Chen Tian followed up with a kick from his left leg.
But Huo Longyun had anticipated this. He raised his leg and unleashed a spinning kick. With a bang, they were both sent reeling backward. Chen Tian looked at Huo Longyun, then activated "Body Reinforcement" and "Battle Readiness," and charged forward again.
Their auras intensified. Huo Longyun watched with an impassive expression. His strength had increased? So what? He was still fearless.
They clashed again. Chen Tian's sharp, cold claws aimed for Huo Longyun's vital points. Huo Longyun's defense, like the Yin-Yang of the Bagua Tai Chi, always managed to skillfully deflect Chen Tian's attacks, rendering him unharmed and even allowing him to counterattack.
It had to be said, Huo Longyun's combat experience far surpassed Chen Tian's. This technique of deflecting and then attacking was incredibly difficult for most people, as one needed to find the vulnerability to deflect an attack, and then counterattack at the opportune moment to achieve a devastating effect.
Huo Longyun had clearly mastered it. He was slowly gaining control of the rhythm, while Chen Tian was becoming passive.
Seeing this, Chen Tian felt there was no point in continuing this way. The gap in combat experience was too vast. He was completely unable to land a hit on Huo Longyun, yet Huo Longyun's attacks, though seemingly weak, were relentless and hard to defend against.
He then changed his claws to fists, swinging purple-ice fists. Huo Longyun knew what Chen Tian intended. He also swung his fists, terrifying flames wrapping around them, and they collided with Chen Tian's fists.
Terrifying waves of energy surged and spread. Rifts appeared in the sky, and both fighters were sent reeling backward.
Chen Tian was the first to stabilize himself. He waved his hand, and a purple-ice halberd appeared in his hand. Since close combat was not his advantage, it was time for a weapon battle!
Huo Longyun stared at Chen Tian drawing his weapon, his expression stunned. Weapon combat was his weakness!
But if his opponent had drawn a weapon, he could not show weakness. True strong individuals respected each other. Since his opponent wanted to fight, he would oblige and enjoy it to the fullest!
Then, flames appeared in his hands, forming a fiery longbow. A quiver appeared on his back, filled with fiery arrows.
Huo Longyun then picked up an arrow, placed a fiery arrow on his bowstring, and drew the bow. Chen Tian, seeing his opponent's weapon, did not hesitate. His opponent wielded a ranged weapon, so he had to engage in close combat and prevent him from unleashing ranged attacks.
He stomped his foot and instantly charged towards Huo Longyun.
